USE OF THE VIOLIN.
It Replaced the Viol When More Dra
matic Effect Wa Needed.
In I lie good old dii) h from Queen
Boh lo tlie comnioiiwcultli ♦ lie fa
vorite instrumenta for n •Yonsort of
music” were viols of various sizes,
from treble to bass, one of \i hit'll, in
a modified form, is still in use un
der the name of double buss. The
vMI whh played with a bow like the
violin, but it differed eonsiderabl)
in shape, bad a far weaker tone,
and its linger board was provided
with “frets,” as in the guitar, man
dolin, banjo, zither and some other
instruments; hence its range was
limited, and it had not the same
power of pure intonation as the
violin. .
When there arose a demand for
more expression, more dramatic ef
fect, the “seoulding violins,” as
Thomas Mace called them, ousted
the gentle viols, all of which, with
the orto exception named above,
quickly became obsolete. A famous
institution of Louis XIII. was a
baud called “Les vjngtquatre vio
lons.” It played at court balls,
dances and dinners. Charles 11.
gave the deathblow to viols in Eng
land when, in imitation of the
French court, he formed a band of
twenty-four violins “ns being more
Uiie and brisk than viols.” These
were the “four and twenty fiddles
all in a row” that we heard of in
our childhood.
Since the rise of orchestral music,
whether for the church, the opera,
the symphony or the dance, it has
been customary to divide the body
of violins into two masses, called,
respectively, the first and second
violins. The first violins take the
leading part and are accompanied
by the seconds, which are of equal
importance to the harmony. The
familiar expression of "playing sec
ond fiddle” in the ordinary affairs
of life suggests that there is some
thing derogatory in following a
lead, but the position of second vio
lin in the orchestra is ns important
as that of first, though in the na
ture of things it is not so promi
nentlv before the public. To he a
good “second” demands certain
valuable qualifications not possess
ed by uil musicians.—London Globe.
Ma Could Hang on All Right.
Two Irishmen employed in a fac- J
toby iu Maine were given a holiday
and went to enjoy themselves hunt
ing. After walking through the
woods for some time one of them
happened to look up a pine tree and
saw a large catamount.
“Holy smoke, Pat, look at him!”
said Mike.
“Uowld on, Mike, that’s a Mal
tese. 1 know where we can get $4
foi; him. I’ll go up and chase him
down and you ketch him when he
comes down,” said Patrick.
Pat did so. and coming down the
tree looked down and saw Mike
and the eat describing circles
among the leaves and dust. “What’s
the matter, Mike? Can't you hang
on to him ?” he asked.
“Oh, 1 eati hang on to him, all
right, but 1 can’t let go of him,”
said Mike.—National Monthly.
One Good Thing to Get.
The stock broker was busy and
nervous. His caller was insistent
and garrulous. He explained his
ability to get for the broker im
portant and eontidential informa
tion.
“There’s nothing you can do for
me,” said the broker decisively.
“Nothing:” asked the caller.
“Absolutely nothing.”
“Well. 1 think I could get you
some <tutf that would he exceed
ingly useful to you.”
“There i- one thing,” said the
broker, after a moment’s thought,
“which you can get me, and it will
lie of great use to me.”
The visitor brightened up.
“That's tine! What can 1 get for
you ?”
“Out,” said the broker. —Popular
